I would love nothing more than compromise. But I would say to you that compromise that's not a solution is a waste of time.

Sometimes compromise is painful.

As a property developer, I learned a long time ago to choose your battles wisely and that, unfortunately, compromise is a given.

To compromise simply means that you go a tiny bit below what you know is right.

Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both.

Fight as hard as you can, and then understand there's going to have to be some amount of reasonable compromise.

Compromise, contrary to popular opinion, does not mean selling out one's principles. Compromise means working out differences to forge a solution which fits the diversity of the body politic.

You cannot compromise unless people talk to you.
